Measurement and Conversions

Often when reading a book, following recipes or working on a project, the sizes and quantities are given in units which are no longer used or are not convenient. Converting from one unit to another can be roughly estimated in many cases, using the approximate relationship between the units a quick mental calculation can be made. However, a more accurate result requires careful working out, but even the most renowned organisations do not always get it right. For example, a failure to convert from Imperial measurements to Metric led total to the loss of the Mars Climate Orbiter. Use the links below to reach pages which give a wide range of units of measurement and factors which can be used to interchange them. There is also a page of miscellaneous facts and formulae which may be of use or interest including a live currency converter.
